Alignment and Test II

[Vk2NU]

Hi All,

I've come across my first problem in the building stage of my K2.

On the 4mHz Oscillator calibration I have a reading of 12577kHz instead of
the expect 12090kHz.

Also on the PLL Reference Oscillator Range Test. When I tap the 'Band +' and
'Band -' buttons, I don't get a range..both readings are 12577

Any ideas where I should start looking..

Thanks

David, VK2NU

You make a worthwhile point, though. As mind-numbing as it is, it's worth
taking the time to verify the polarity/orientation of all parts a couple
times while they're begin installed, and to check them again just before the
stage tests. Also check every single solder joint under a magnifying glass.
It really does save you a lot of head-scratching later.
